Bit steep innit. You can pick up originals on ebay for a couple of hundred quid.

Someone could make a few quid.

Am going to be controversial here, but the Grifter was an all round much better bike than the Chopper which I seem to remember was massively heavy, quite poor off road because of its little front wheel, and quite hard to pull a wheelie on...

And the gears would always break leaving the bike stuck in third (the hardest) gear.

Another bike that the BMX saw off.
